So Lost, Light Temporarily Eludes

So Lost, Light Temporarily Eludes Once a man lost saw nothing but a stone wall misery and blues ever since his great fall So lost that the stars failed to shine so blue he could not walk a straight line Soon began to share his misery and self hate blamed his torment on life and dark fate Dark spirit had grabbed and crushed his soul eyes blinded he could not ever see a goal Then one day Love and Mercy came a calling gifted a blessing to counter his great falling Light opened those very sad and shut eyes clouds flew away as suddenly Sun filled sky As love sent heart into his opening mind his soul it's way back home soon did find Beauty and life soon took him on a new path away from darkness and former hating wrath Once a man was lost with little hope of healing Such was before Love gave his heart renewed feeling! Robert J. Lindley 07-22- 2014 Inspired by Peter's Duggan's poem to a fine lady that needs cheering. Dedicated to that fine person and I pray this write brings her some measure of hope and bright cheering.... A silence stilled the beauty of a flower blues came forth to steal more power Hope sent in a massive charge to slay love and mercy gifted when we pray. I too was once so very, very lost prayer was sent and darkness defeated by God's amazing grace..
